[00:00.00] Now, it's possible to be a prominent person without being eminent, since eminence depends on respect which is earned through skill, education, public recognition. For example, a pop star might be prominent but they probably wouldn't be described as eminent. And prominent has a couple of other meanings as well. It can mean " easy to see or notice". For example, we could say. His arm was badly cut in the accident and he has been left with a prominent scar. And a further meaning of prominent is " sticking out", for example. The builders did a really bad job. The floor was very uneven and there was a prominent bump in one of the walls. So, let’s summarise. Prominent means well-known, noticeable and important. Eminent means highly qualified, successful and respected. Right, I hope that answers your question, Javed, and I hope that you become both prominent and eminent one day.
